Spec'd Right Before It Ships

Spec'd Right Before It Ships

Ordering the wrong size tool box means downtime, return freight, and a crew waiting on the job site. Tank Vault eliminates that risk. Before your RC Industries box ships, we verify your truck bed dimensions, mounting surface, and size selection against the available configurations — from 48-inch to 96-inch lengths. We don't let you order a 72-inch box for a 60-inch flatbed opening. That's our pre-ship spec review process, and it applies to every order. The right box, the right size, the first time — no return freight claims, no wasted weeks, no explaining to your crew why the equipment doesn't fit.

12-Gauge Steel That Handles Real Work

12-Gauge Steel That Handles Real Work

These RC Industries tool boxes are built from 12-gauge steel — not light-gauge sheet metal that dents the first time a socket set gets dropped inside. The pan-formed drop down door maintains structural rigidity through repeated daily use, and the stainless steel L-style hinge won't corrode or bind after a season of exposure. Heavy duty retainer chains keep the door controlled on steep grades and uneven job sites. This is industrial-grade storage that holds up to the reality of flatbed and service body work — not a retail-grade box that looks good in a catalog but fails in the field.

Weather-Sealed and Lock-Secured on Every Box

Weather-Sealed and Lock-Secured on Every Box

The automotive bulb seal on every RC Industries drop down box creates a continuous barrier against dust, water, and road debris — the same sealing method used in vehicle doors. Combined with the anchor compression latch and keyed cylinder lock, your tools stay protected from both weather and theft. The stainless steel door option adds an extra layer of corrosion resistance for operations in coastal or high-moisture environments. Nine size configurations from 48 to 96 inches mean you can match the box to your flatbed rail spacing without modifications or compromises.

Compatibility Check

Verify your flatbed, service body, or trailer meets these requirements before ordering.

  • Topside mounting surface on flatbed, service body truck, or trailer
  • Minimum 13" of front-to-back available at mounting location
  • At least 16" of vertical available above the mounting surface

Built for Real Work

Designed for professionals who mount storage where they need it — on top of the truck, not inside it.

“Mounted two of these on our service bodies three months ago. The 12-gauge steel is noticeably heavier than what we replaced. Drop down door operates clean, the seal keeps dust out, and the cylinder lock feels solid. Spec'd the 72-inch for our flatbed and it fit the rail spacing exactly. Tank Vault confirmed the dimensions before shipping — no surprises on delivery.”

Frequently Asked Questions

RC Industries offers this top mount drop down box in four configurations: matte black, gloss black, gloss white, and a steel body with stainless steel door. The painted finishes use a durable coating designed for exterior exposure on flatbeds and service bodies. The stainless steel door option provides additional corrosion resistance in coastal or high-moisture environments. Select your finish preference when ordering.
Nine sizes are available, ranging from 48 inches to 96 inches in length, with width and height options of 13x16, 16x18, and 16x24 inches. Measure your flatbed rail spacing and available mounting depth before ordering. If you are unsure which size fits your application, contact Tank Vault before purchasing — we will verify your dimensions against the available configurations to ensure a correct fit.
The box is built from 12-gauge steel with a pan-formed drop down door for structural rigidity. The hinge is stainless steel L-style construction, and the door uses an automotive bulb seal for weather resistance. Heavy duty retainer chains control door movement on uneven terrain. The latch is an anchor compression type with a keyed cylinder lock. This is field-proven, industrial-grade construction designed for daily use on work trucks and trailers.
Ships free via LTL freight to your location. Tool boxes of this size and weight — 94 pounds for the 48-inch model up to larger configurations — require freight shipping rather than parcel delivery. Transit times vary by destination. If you need the box delivered to a specific job site, require liftgate service, or have a deadline, contact Tank Vault before ordering and we will coordinate delivery to meet your timeline.
The top mount design is intended for permanent bolting to the topside of a flatbed, service body, or trailer. Once installed, it is not designed to be moved as a standalone unit. For repositioning before installation, the weight ranges from 94 pounds for the smallest size to heavier configurations — manageable with two people or appropriate lifting equipment on a flat surface.
Tank Vault offers a 30-day return window on uninstalled tool boxes in original packaging. If the box arrives damaged or does not match your order specifications, contact us immediately and we resolve it without a runaround. Installed or modified boxes cannot be returned. If you are unsure about sizing or finish, use our free pre-offer spec review before ordering to confirm the right configuration for your application.
